3. Is your child currently suffering from an illness that may affect their normal behaviours, including being active, movement, sitting or sleep? | Question appearing as though it is only aimed at long term illness, rather than just being unwell during the week of measurement | Changed to include more example so that even short-term illnesses are captured. ‘Is your child currently suffering from an illness, unwell or poorly (short or long term) that may affect their normal behaviours, including being active, movement, sitting or sleep?’ |
